I have been experimenting with the koni shocks/struts and tire pressures to find an optimal setting. here are my findings on my s70 t-5:

41psi up front (hot)
40psi rear (hot)
1 turn from stiffest in rear
1.5 turns from softest in front.

car has a virtually neutral balance, and actually oversteers if you brake late into a hard turn.

i am , believe it or not, wondering if i should make any modifications to this set up for everyday hard-driving, aka, lowering rear pressure etc. let me know.
